Only 1,300 of these have heeh reported from the committees tp which they were referred, and although more than. half the session has been consumed, at least six-sevenths of the whole number of bills have re ceived no attention; for with the ex ception of a number of private bills mostly pension bills the Congress has passed no important measure.save that of the presidential succesaioni But, now that the third week's discussion of the , PRKSKNTIAt.

Hoes -The speaker laid before the House a com munication from the acting secretary of the treasury transmitting estimates from the interior department for an appropria tion of $1., 000,000 to pay the additional pensions allowed by the act Of March 19th, 1886. Referred. Mr. Robertson, of Kentucky, sub mitted the minority-report of the com mittee on elections m the contested election case of Hurd against Romeis. It was ordered, printed. Mr. James, of New York, called up the adverse report on the free coinage bill. Mr. O'Neill, of Missouri,, raised the question of consideration in order to call up the labor arbitration bill. After an informal discussion in which an amicable arrangement was sought to be arrived at, Mr. Bland signified his willingness to yield one hour to the labor bill, as the gentlemen in charge of tnat measure thought it might be passed within that time. Mr. Reed, of Maine, thought the hour would avail nothing as the oppo nents of the bill could talk an hour away, and there was language enough on the other side to do it. On a division the House refused, veas 68, nays 72, to consider the silver bill, and the yeas and nays were ordered. A proposition was then made that in stead of taking the yeas and nays one hour might be given to the discussion of the silver bill, but to this O'Neill objected, stating that he wished the la bor bill to come up immediately. The vote yeas 8ft nays 125 only empha sized the previous action and for the time being the silver bill was laid aside, and the House, went into committee of the whofe (Mr. Springer in the chair) on the arbitration bill. Mr. Warner, of Missouri, offered an amendment providing that members of I the tribunal of arbitration shall receive a compensation of $10 per day for the time actually employed. It also pro vides for fees and compensation to be allowed the clerk, stenographer, mar shals end witnesses ; provides that the tribunal shall have power to limit the number of witnesses in each case whose fees shall be paid by the United States, and appropriates a sufficient sum of money to carry the provisions of the bill into effect. , - f . Mr. Browne, of Indiana, offered an amendment to Mr. Warner's amend ment, requiring the party who refuses to abide by the award to pay the costs and expenses of the arbitration. This was lost; 54 to 92. Mr. Rogers, of Arkansas, submitted a number of amendments, limiting the number of witnesses to be examined and the number of the tribunals to be estab lished at any one time. They were all rejected, Mr. Lowery, of Indiana, char acterizing some of them as frivolous, and Mr. Rogers retorting that the whole bill was frivolous. Mr. Tillman, of S- C, offered an amendment to Mr. Warner's amend ment, providing that not exceeding $1,000 shall be paid out of the treasury to defray the expenses of any single arbitration, lie said that if a large body, let us say 1,000 miles away from the strikers, were afraid of them, what could be expected of three arbitrators in the presence of the strikers! I hey would summon every witnessthe strikers suggested and the strikers when they got tired of work would get up a circus at government expense. There ought to be some limit to the appropriation The amendment was agreed to and Mr Warner's amendment as amended was adopted. Ihe committee rose and re ported the bill to the House. Mr. Hewitt, of N. I., moved tore commit the. bill, with instructions to the committee on labor to report in lien thereof a concurrent resolution expressive of the sense of this Congress that so far as practicable all controversies between employers and employees should be sub jected to arbitration, either by volunta ry agreement or in accordance with law. i -.it The motion was lost: 30 to 76, and tbe bill was passed; veas 195, nays 29. The following is the negative vote Messrs. Allen, of Miss.; Barnes, Bel mont, Bennett, Breckenridge, of Ky Crisp, Craxton, Davidson, of Ala-; Dan lei, Foram, Farney, Uiover. Hale. Ham mond, Harris, Hemphill, Hill, Hutton, Irion, Jones, of Ala.; Norwood, O'Fer I . rail, Perry, Tillman and .Tucker On motion of Mr. Ivelly, of Fennsyl vania, the title of the bill was ami ndrd, so as to read: "To provide a method for Be tiling all controversies and difficulties between railroad corporations engaged in the inter-State and lerritorul trans portation of property and passengers and their employees. The debate on the Bilver bill was be gun. Mr. Fuller, oi xowa, argued m favor of the double standard and charged that the officials of the treasury tr ,i i . "W department were violating me laws auu thwarting the will of the people iu re fusing to pay out silver on the . obliga tions of the government. The course of the administration, he said, had had much to do with the decline in the price of silver bullion. Let Congress give, the world to understand that there is to be no suspension of the silver coin age and there was no doubt that there would be a decided appreciation in ' toe price of silver. Mr. Barksdale, of 1 Mississippi, op posed a suspension of the silver coinage, declaring that it meant the ultimate ex tinction of silver as a part of the mone tary system of the country. He would advocate that measure which aimed to bring back the government to the posi tion from which it had departed in 1773; the coinage of both metals on precisely the Same footing. Mr. Caldwell, of Tennessee, contro verted the assertion; that the further coinage of silver would drive gold out of the country, and quoted statistics to uphold his views of the question. Mr. Adms, of Illinois, spoke in op position to the free coinage proposition and at 5.30 the House took a recess until 7 80. CHAITABOeOA UNDER WATER. Flvo Tbtauad Pipl Drtvoa tholr Houioa.

THE NTKIKERS ABJ OFFICERS DEADLY CONFLICT AT FORT. WOBiH. in Tb Strlkom Ambush m Train, but Art Finally Driven Off. 8t. ; Louis, April 3 A number, of specials from Fort Worth, Texas, report that fighting occurred there today be tween the strikers and the sheriff's posse, iit which several persons were killed and wounded on both sides. Winchester rifles were freely used. It is difficult from these dispatches to state the exact order of events. One special says ; : "At 10 o'clock this morning 1,500 people assembled at the Missouri Pacific depot, to see sheriff Maddox send out the train which he said last j night he would or dfe in the attempt. At 1 o'clock an engine with twenty armed deputies backed into the yard, to take out a train of twenty cars. When ready the train pulled out for the south and reached the New Or leans crossing, twq miles south of the city,; at 1 o'clock. Sheriff Maddox and his posse were there attacked and a regular battle ensued. : Three deputies are shot and several of the strikers are id to have been killed. The names of the deputies wounded are Chas. Sneed, J, J. Bulford and Dick Townsend. Sneed will die. The sheriff's posse numbered thirty men." Another hort Worth special says: "The citiieris are arming on all sides. A fight is now going on between the strikers and fifty mounted police. The strikers are well armed with Winches ters. I Everything is in an extremely feverish condition." 2 30 p. M.-f-Another " special from Fort Worth says : , Several hundred merchants and citizens are now march ing down Main: street, all armed with Winchester rifles and shot guns. Seven men are now dead and a number are ounded. The gun stores are closed n v uuuvu jl uy e tnj Q under guard a pi at. Details of the desperate af fair at Fort Worth, Texas, are given as follows : The j suggestive quiet that marked the passage of the freight train through the city was not without its sequel. When! the train left the depot it was under the protection of a posse of officers commanded by Jim. Court- wriirht. The train proceeded to the crossing of the Fort Worth & New Or leans road, when it was stopped, as is customary. . What followed is reported by a railroad employee who was on the train iHe says that when the train stopped it was noticed that several men were congregated on the track in. front of the train, lhe commander of the posse approached the men and asked why they impeded the progress: of the train, to which they replied that they had noth ing to do with it; that they were not armed and had no intention of interfer ing with the road. As the officers re turned to the train . they noticed several men sitting or lying on the grass a few yards from the train. The entire posse advanced toward the men in ambush, until they had reached a ditch along side of the track, when they commanded them to throw up their hands. The command was obeyed, but as the hands came up they brought Winchester rifles with them, which belched forth a neaaiy fire,! it is said with fatal effect. There were ! perhaps one hundred shots fired, j After the first , fire the (posse advanced 'and continued firing. The ambushed men retreated behind some piles of ties, which proved a'most excellent breastwork and from the I security of which they poured a murderous fire into the posse. : From this position they were finally dislodged 8nddriven beyond range of the pOsse's pistols. The casualties among the posse were found to be three; police Officer Ford, shot through both thighs; special officer Dick Townsend, shot through t left breast near the nipple, fatal; special officer Chas. j Sneed, shot through te heart and jaw. The casualties amon? the ambushed men are only a matter ooujecture, though there seem, to e good grounds for saying that three or more of them were wounded, probably fatally. The same authority says there were half a dosen or more horses visible, from the train that was ambushed. which it is believed belonged to the a n- budhing party. The posse carried the wounded men aboard the tram,; w men backed into the Union depot, where the wounded were lying when the reporter saw them. I nm Cures Rheumatism, Neuralgia pnlcE. rirTT xfEjrrs.
